Blaze Pizza

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have multiple GF pizza crusts. Staff is knowledgable. They change gloves, have sauce intended for allergies. Overall they do their best.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had such high hopes for this place... The first lady was very careful, changing gloves, using sauces in the back... But I couldn't watch the oven or the lady cutting it... Sure enough, cramps, terrible reflux, exhaustion, nausea... Yup, I got glutened. I really don't know what happened, but this has been the worst glutening since I went GF. I mean, the pizza tasted great, but I can't really say they're celiac friendly with how poorly I feel right now.

Celiac friendly?

No

They took great care of my pizza until it got to the lady who cut it. She had the roller slide all over the counter full of crumbs from the regular pizzas. I told her that she has just inadvertently contaminated my pizza and she gave me an attitude.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was a great experience for me. They took great caution for Gluten Free by also you have to ask them to change their pizza cutter for the pizza but other than that definitely recommend Blaze Pizza.

Best gluten free crust I’ve ever had... price is very good .. we just moved here and I’ve already made it one of my go to restaurants..

Blaze does a great job accommodating to gf needs. They do not have a dedicated prep area, but they do have specific mats, cutters, etc for gluten allergies. I would still be cautious with celiacs but know two people with celiacs who can eat there and are yet to have issues. One of the best gluten free pizzas I've had so far!

Best gluten free pizza I've had, and I've tried a lot! Plenty of topping options, but there isn't a dedicated assembly or cooking area in my experience. They put the pizza on it's own cooking sheet and change their gloves, but the toppings they take from are also touched by gloves that have touched the regular pizza. You also have to watch them carefully because they are not careful about our pizza not touching other pizzas. It is not celiac friendly, but I have yet to get sick and eat here regularly.

On Quality & Quantity

The crust is thin, but very enjoyable. However, it is very, very greasy when it comes out of the oven. The overall pizza was good. You cn also ask for no crotons on the salad, and they don't put on the dressing themselves. It comes in a little container.

Other Characteristics

• Good for dairy-free
• Good quality & quantity of healthy options
• Good vegan options
• Good for takeout
• Offers delivery

Celiac friendly?

No

They have gf crust, use a separate cutter, and will get safe ingredients, however, the mats they use to cook the gf pizza are not cleaned in between uses and there is no guarantee that the oven down side will not be the pizza side the next time so there is a huge chance of significant cross contamination. I ordered a pizza because i was assured it would Be safe but after watching how it was made i didnt eat it and gave it to my friends.

Celiac friendly?

No

I would not eat here if you have celiac. They used the gf dough on the regular dough smasher. They were annoyed that i pointed it out and said that’s how they do it now. We walked out of line and haven’t been back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Blaze Pizza has become my go to for GF pizza. They offer 3 different types of GF crust: cauliflower, GF crust, and Keto crust that is also GF. They press the GF dough separately, change gloves, and when it comes time to put the pizza in the fire oven they place it on a rubber looking disc to avoid cross contamination. I have never had any problems eating here!

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac kid worked there. Definitely not safe for celiac. Great if you want gluten free because you are trendy

Delicious pizza with different gluten free crust options but they really don’t alert their employees about glove changes you have to tell each person on the line to change their gloves. And cross contamination can easily occur. I have yet to get sick but I also do take gluten digestion pills prior to eating here just in case . Sometimes I crave a good pizza that has many options.

Precautions are taken: changed gloves, different sauce, mat under pizza in oven. But still a cross contamination nightmare. Crumbs were everywhere so I probably wouldn’t go again.

We do pretty well here but aren’t super sensitive. They have several different crusts that are GF. No question there will be cross contamination but they try with glove changes, different ladle for sauce and diff pizza cutters. They dip hands in other toppings so for sure there is some exchange.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Watch the person at the oven. That’s where my pizza would get tossed on the grate before it went in the box. Other than that it’s been great. But I probably won’t go back. Too much stress

Staff took care to change gloves, put a special mat under the pizza while in oven and use a separate pizza cuter. I thanked the manager and he said his daughter has Celiacs so he “gets it”.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not sure about other locations but prior to 1st time my celiac daughter ate there they have made significant changes if you specifically tell them celiac not just preference. I Still watch closely to make sure they do their best to avoid cross contamination but so far since the changes have been made my daughter has not been sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I always order their gluten free pizza and it doesn’t taste like cardboard. It actually taste really good and they are really careful with cross contamination. 10/10 recommend to people like me who can’t eat gluten and to vegans.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Never had a problem. I’m Celiac.

The staff was very knowledgeable of being gluten-free. They use dedicated bins for gluten-free sauces and dedicated utensils and pans. The lady that fixed my pizza washed her hands and changed gloves before touching my pizza dough. She then followed down the line fixing my pizza instead of passing it onto the other fixers. I was very impressed with the way they handled my food. Will definitely be going back there.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They had a couple different gluten free crust options. They asked if a needed glove or ladle changes when I request a GF crust. Most of the toppings were also safe. In my opinion the pizza itself could have used more cheese, but I think that could be requested. Overall felt safe eating here.

they offer gluten free crust and take steps in the pizza making process to avoid cross contamination. change gloves, different ladles for sauce, they even put it on it's own mat when in the oven. I have never had any reaction from eating here

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have HOMEMADE gluten free crust! I ordered that and they asked if I wanted everyone to change their gloves, which they did. They took me over to a separate section to choose my pizza toppings so I wouldn’t get any cross-contamination. The pizza was so delicious, affordable, and I felt great after eating it!

If you tell them you have an allergy they go the extra mile. I always eat there and never had a problem

Celiac friendly?

No

Cross contamination nightmare, don’t do it

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of options!! Very knowledgeable staff.

Pizza was amazing GF crust was hand made dough

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Both times we’ve been since diagnosed, they are very good at glove change, separate serving utensils and baking pan, and if an employee doesn’t know protocol, they ask a manager

Very nice staff who have been trained to treat Gluten free seriously with no attitude. Thank you so much!!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have ordered GF Pizza from this restaurant twice once in person and once ordered via DoorDash with my son who has celiac and we have been happy both times. Thank you for being diligent in making sure everything is gluten-free and celiac friendly. The GF pizza and also the cauliflower crust pizza are both delicious.

Celiac friendly?

No

They ask if it’s an allergy or preference and do change gloves but that’s where it stops. Same utensils for sauce and toppings, then they put it directly on the same cooking surface as the regular crust. From there it gets pulled out and cut on the same surface using the same slicer. I’ll be sick I’m sure.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve eaten there 20+ times and haven’t gotten sick. They change their gloves and use separate cutters, etc. It sometimes looks a little sketchy... just with them using shared surfaces, but they have the GF pizza on a mat so it’s supposedly safe

Celiac friendly?

No

I've been there twice, first time was amazing, they kept everything separate, asked if I needed gloves changed, all the standard stuff when you've got a celiac in your building. My second time today was a little more lax, and me, being naive and with my guard down, didn't pay as much attention, but the warning signs were all there that I should have been more careful. There was a new guy who really wasn't paying attention, kept trying to do stuff with my pizza and not respecting the GF crust. Well I still ate it, felt pretty foggy shortly after starting and knew something was off. I took the rest home and tested it in my Nima Gluten tester and it turned up positive for gluten. I'm really disappointed because they are great tasty pizza, but 50/50 chance of getting gluten is not a good time. It's a great place, you just gotta watch them like a hawk and remember there is flour flying all over the place. I'd call it gluten sensitive safe, not celiac safe.

Do have separate press again for gluten free pizza.

Celiac friendly?

No

GF pizzas are on the menu, however the flour is flying and the “GF” pizzas are cooked in the same ovens as the gluten pizzas. Cross contamination is guaranteed.

I let them know it was an allergy and the woman making my pizza took precautions (wore gloves, used fresh spoon for sauce) but there’s real no way to completely avoid cross contact here. I have celiac and haven’t gotten sick here before, but it’s definitely risky! There’s no GF way to get the pesto base (it’s a paintbrush), and you probably need to remind the guy who takes it out of the oven to do a glove change/use a new cutter/etc. Blaze also has vegan options/multiple gf crusts to pick from.

Celiac friendly?

No

I have been to a few Blaze Pizza’s around the country and this is probably my least favorite. Staff seems disinterested and upset when they have to change their gloves. They still cross contaminate items even thought it is an allergy (same sauce bucket as regular pizzas, each that staff member that works on the pizza doesn’t change gloves). The atmosphere is chaotic and I usually feel a little sick after eating here. Won’t be going back to this location. I recommend giving one in another city a try!

The website says they take precautions but the person who was taking orders said they just changed gloves. I asked if they would open fresh toppings. She asked the supervisor who said they would make it in thef back with all fresh stuff. The food is cooked in the same oven as tall pizzas. You also have to ask them not to cut the pizza or they might just use the used cutters

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable. They used separate sauces, changed gloves, baked pizza in oven on gluten free mat, and used separate cutting utensils.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious GF crust pizza!! They have 3 GF crust options including vegan, keto and cauliflower. They ask if you require a glove change.

The only pizza I consider worth eating in the area! I think the secret to good GF pizza is fresh dough and a pizza oven- which Blaze uses. They’re also great about changing gloves, making sure your GF dough is on a clean surface, and using separate sauce (though I did have to ask for this once- no big deal). Super sensitive to CC and so far I’ve never been sick. So good!

Person who took my order was knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination, and told me very honestly that he could not guarantee GF because of the flour in the air. I ordered salad and he kindly made it in the back with fresh salad trays. I saw my son’s GF pizza taken out of the oven and put on the counter with part of its crust overlapping a regular gluten pizza. I would say keep an eye on your pizza if you order a GF one.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here with celiacs about 3 times over the last 3 months. Great hand-made pizza. Great vegetarian and GF options. These guys have a good system to keep GF pizza as GF pizza. Recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Have eaten here with celiac family members many times over last year - great pizza. Last time was a month ago. Every pizza comes GF. Each pizza is prepared custom - even the pizza dough. Staff extremely educated - they have a great system to keep the GF pizza, GF. Recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of our favorites! They even have dairy free cheese options!

Celiac friendly?

No

Offers three different types of gf pizza crust, but oh-so-very cross-contaminated!!!! You can watch your pizza go down the line and see how many times it is cross-contaminated. Staff taking orders could not explain difference between 3 crusts, had to call over manager, who did, but did not get toppings or sauces from the back. The 2 gf pies in our order were pushed to the back of the oven to be further cross-contaminated, and one so badly burnt it was unedible. They replaced the burnt pizza, but that won't make us any less sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff were very accommodating and immediately asked if I wanted a glove change. They have 3 (!!!) different types of GF pizza dough (regular GF, keto, and cauliflower). I got the regular GF crust and made my own pizza. Price was okay, a bit on the expensive side for fast casual but definitely worth it. Such a good option for delicious and safe GF pizza! So many toppings to choose from.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly. Cross contamination possible because of the oven and person making your food. Never had an issue but you never know. Awesome variety of crusts and toppings!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

excellent gf pizza,staff great They are awesome the pizza is great. I am celiac NEVER had a problem there, probably eaten 25 gf pizza there no issues. Great staff

Celiac friendly?

No

I would not eat at this location if you have celiac. They DID NOT use a dedicated dough press. They did get a dry paper towel and brush off all the flour that was on the dough press but when I asked if that was all they do to clean it, they said it was the best they could do. They were good about washing their hands, getting new gloves. They told me they use clean utensils and keep everything separate. However, as soon as they started using the same dough press I was out and not risking it. I’m so happy I didn’t call in my order and I went in to watch them make it. Be careful if considering eating here!

Celiac friendly?

No

They offer Gf crust but that’s about it. There was Gluten everywhere! Even with a glove change there is still traces of gluten in the cheese and all the toppings. They are supposed to cook the Gf pizza on a separate tray in the oven but our pizza was deliberately taken off the GF tray to finish cook the center. Unfortunately this is not an option for celiacs period.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free and Keto crust options. He asked if it is an allergy and changed gloves for me. All pizza toppings were marked clearly. The gluten free crust was very good. Everyone who was with me liked the regular crust a lot too.

Celiac friendly?

No

They have had to remake my pizza all 3 times I've visited because they don't understand when I tell them I have an allergy. I guess it's my fault for going back 3 times... They say that they can accommodate but then I watch them use all sorts of contaminated utensils if you don't hover and be an asshole customer because I don't want to be sick... But it is good pizza, once they've made it for the third time after contaminating the first 2

Celiac friendly?

No

Ordered gluten free allergy, witnesses a lot of cross contamination. Got my money back. Not eating here. Be careful at these pizza places, never know how poor the training is.

Super tasty! Several allergy friendly items on the menu

Mixed review. Pizza was good, I didn’t get noticeably glutened, and they were extremely busy after a football game. While they were aware of gluten precautions, I had to be watching and asking for them to be carried out. They did clean the dough press and used separate gloves in preparation. When it was cooling there was a liner under it to prevent cross contamination. Then at the end, they used the same tongs as everyone else’s to put the pizza on a plate. So, you either do it or you don’t, execution needs to be better.
